Chapter 104 - Luckiest

"I was born and grew up under the earth Evie…" he started, and Evie did her best to keep still at what she heard. Though she could not help but tilt her head to one side as she tried to understand what he meant by that statement. She already knew he had grown up in the dungeon from what his men had told her. But for the fact that he was born there too, was what made her heart clench and ache. "I don\'t know what exactly happened. Why I was even there in the first place. Something seemed to have happened and I had lost my memories. I just opened my eyes and I found myself running for my life, fighting against all sorts of beasts on my own. There was no one else around me, no one to help me. If I had not found a way to kill and survive, I would have died there at the mercy of those beasts without anyone else knowing. I didn\'t even know the reason for why I was running away or to where I was supposed to go. I just fought and fought endlessly for days and nights. I believed it was then that I have awakened my monster and I had allowed it to consume me… and it was not just once that it happened during my entire escape."

"The beasts were too strong for a young boy, so I guessed I had no choice but to awaken the monster to survive. I couldn\'t even count how many beasts I\'ve killed until I finally set foot on the surface." He paused and Evie saw him smile. She thought that it was not a happy smile but rather, an ironic one. "I knew that moment was the very first time I saw the sky. I was shocked to my core at what I saw. But unfortunately, the dungeon had led me to another dangerous place. The exit brought me to the forbidden land where all these beasts lived, and I was forced to fight for my life again. I don\'t remember how long I\'ve fought until I found myself inside another dungeon. I only remembered entering a cave and somehow, it brought me here into Dacria. The empress discovered me in that same place where you found me under the library." Gavriel stopped talking after recounting his past in such a long explanation. He had a far off look in his eyes, as though seeing again through his mind\'s eyes the happenings that he had gone through as a young child during those days.

Evie was quiet and contemplative after listening to all that Gavriel had recounted to her. But her arms around his head tightened, silent tears were falling from her eyes no matter how much she tried to hold it in. Her heart ached so bad. Imagining the younger Gavriel all alone, fighting endlessly for his life despite being just a boy made Evie felt so wretched.

She thought that the empress was at least with him during his time inside the dungeon. But he was actually all alone, and what he had done during those times was kill and kill without anyone to lean on? Why?

Slowly, Gavriel lifted his head, and he froze the moment he saw her tears flowing like rain from her eyes. "W-wife…" he caught her face, moulding his palm on her small face. "Good Lord Evie… don\'t cry, my love… why are you crying?" he was obviously appalled and did not quite know what to say to his apparently distraught wife who was crying her eyes out.

Evie glommed onto him and hugged him as tight as she could as her tears were still pouring from her eyes non-stop. "I\'m sorry… I just… I just wished I was there with you back then…" she cried and Gavriel stilled and blinked for a moment before he eventually chuckled and hugged her back.

"I wouldn\'t have wanted for you to be there with me at that time though," he said in a soft but firm voice, "I doubt I would be able to survive if you were there, Evie. Because first, I\'d die of worry just thinking on how to keep you alive. Secondly, I might be overly distracted by your presence that it might be the reason that I lose focus and get slaughtered by one of those beasts." He laughed again as he caressed her.

Evie gave him a small slap on his shoulders as she cried even harder and Gavriel was forced to rise and lean against the headboard, cradling her in his arms and rocking her so gently. "Hush now, love. You don\'t need to cry. Didn\'t I come out quite alive and healthy and am here with you now?" he coaxed as he wiped off the tears that were rolling down her cheeks and then kissing her forehead. Though within his own mind, Gavriel was rejoicing and could not explain how happy he felt… not because his Evie was crying, but because once again, she seemed to be drawing closer and closer to him the more she learns about his deepest secrets. It was so astounding that she was here crying for him like she was the one who had gone through all those pains. And here he was, thinking that when his secrets were exposed, it would serve to drive her farther away from him.

He felt as though he was literally melting. It was unbelievable that his darkest secrets were actually what drew her even closer to him. Not only did she draw closer, but she was also empathising with his past plight and caused her to shed tears for him. For the first time in his life, he actually began to think that he might have been the luckiest creature in the world. For being able to find a woman who would embrace him whole, was truly a miracle! It seems the gods truly had pitied him and sent this amazing gift in the form of his wife, Evie. Only such an angel like her, could love and embrace him even with the filthy history that he had and blood that stained his hands and the dangers that came along with him.
